    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO 7.
    • NG: GO TO 5.
  5. CHECK MANUAL CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT 

    Check PNP switch again with manual control cable disconnected from manual shaft of A/T assembly. Refer to Step 2 (With CONSULT-II) or Step 7 (With out CONSULT-II).

    OK or NG

  6. CHECK PNP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT 

    Remove PNP switch from A/T assembly and check continuity of PNP switch terminals. Refer to Step 3.

    OK or NG

  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM 

    Check the following items:

    • Fuse
    • Harness for short or open between ignition switch and park/neutral position (PNP) switch
    • Harness for short or open between park/neutral position (PNP) switch and TCM
    • Harness for short or open between park/neutral position (PNP) switch and combination meter
    • Harness for short or open between combination meter and TCM
    • Ignition switch

      Refer to "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ".

    OK or NG

    • OK (With CONSULT-II): GO TO 8.
    • OK (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO 9.
    • NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
  8. CHECK OVERDRIVE CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUIT (WITH CONSULT-II) 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position. (Do not start engine.)
    2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II.

    3. Read out "OVERDRIVE SW".

      Check the signal of the overdrive control switch is indicated properly.

      (Overdrive switch "ON" displayed on CONSULT-II means overdrive "OFF".)

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO  10.
    • NG: GO TO 9.
  9. CHECK OVERDRIVE CONTROL SWITCH 

    Check the following item:

    • Overdrive control switch
